Nether Dragon in the Mirror

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next day.

But the mission from last night, the mission that took place in the world of the mirror, still haunts Harry like a nightmare.

He failed.

So even he

Even now, with Sirius at home and someone like Tonks who's good at livening things up around, Harry is still not very happy.

Fortunately, Ron's arrival brought a ray of sunshine to Harry's gloomy mood.

"Niffler!"

"Erumpent!"

"Ashwinder!"

In Harry's room, Ron was waving his wand and chanting the names of one Care of Magical Creatures after another.

"What's this?" Harry had no choice but to lift the blanket and show his head.

"You didn't see it?"

"Doraemon: Summoner Kingdom, a recently released title."

"Luke Walker (Nobita) and Doraemon, along with Mara Jade (Mara Jade), Darth Vader (Gian) and his sidekick Dooku Count (Suneo), went to the inner world of the earth."

"There is another magical world there, where wizards use Summoning Charm to summon Care of Magical Creatures that have made contracts with them to fight."

"Harry, can you imagine? It describes many interesting Care of Magical Creatures, even some extinct ones—like the Nether Dragon."

"Because of this book, I heard that many students who didn't choose the Care of Magical Creatures wrote to their dean, saying they wanted to change their choices!"

"Aren't you very interested in these things?" Ron glanced at Harry, who seemed a bit listless at the mention of changing the curriculum.

Completely unaware that this change occurred after he mentioned the Nether Dragon.

"Nether Dragon is a Care of Magical Creatures contracted by a villain in this story. Luke Walker (Nobita) and his friends defeated him."

"Harry, do you think I can do that too? For example, the Levitation Charm, Rufio the wizard used it to summon a bison, just because he said 's' instead of 'f'. Can I do that too? Ron pulled out the latest edition of Doraemon and started babbling on in front of Harry.

"Okay, so that means Nether Dragon was defeated?"

"Then how was he defeated!" Harry grabbed Ron's shoulder suddenly.

That world resurfaced in my memory.

That world, the opposite of everything outside.

There was another "him" inside, a left-handed man. His bangs were also strangely tilted to the right, because of the lightning bolt scar that had also been moved to the right side of his forehead.

He rode Nether Dragon that emerged from a mirror in the Mirror World and banished Harry from that world.

But upon entering the mirror world, a new task arises—a choice! To accept or reject another version of yourself, yet this too becomes a stumbling block.

This task is very important, as it will allow the magic residing in his heart to grow stronger once again, strong enough to illuminate the path to the Afterlife through the Resurrection Stone.

But that Nether Dragon, the most powerful ancient Ancient Dragon with no natural enemies, became an insurmountable barrier for him.

However, it also appeared in the Doraemon manga, and was even defeated by Luke Walker (Nobita)!

Is this—

"Momotaro's Rice Ball!"

"Luke Walker (Nobita) relied on it, a magical gadget that makes animals obey him after eating it." Ron turned to a page, and an ordinary rice ball appeared in front of Harry, with Doraemon's voice explaining the rice ball's backstory coming from inside.

"That's it." Harry slumped onto the sky-blue pillow behind him.

"Harry, you—you're not anxious because you're getting engaged soon?" Even Ron, who was slow to notice, sensed something was wrong.

"How could you think that?" Harry stared at the eagles drawn on the bronze fabric above the bed, Accio inside, and sighed helplessly.

"That's what Sirius and the others said."

"That's why I came here early. Ginny wanted to come too, but Bill stopped her."

"I'm afraid you're doing this on purpose, trying to trick Ginny into coming over and doing things that we shouldn't be doing at our age while the adults are busy with other things." Ron sounded a little annoyed.

To be honest, Harry was still listless after he arrived.

This almost made him believe that Bill was telling the truth.

He knew that Harry wasn't as innocent as he seemed.

Harry once said to the charts in Astronomy Class, "Aurora Sinistra, there's one I can't see clearly. Could you let me see Uranus (Uranus is the same as Your anus, which means your anus) too?"

Sinistra's face turned red with anger, but seeing Harry's seemingly innocent face, she didn't lash out.

But Ron didn't believe it.

Harry is a top student, how could he make such a small mistake?

This is one of the reasons why Harry was somewhat resistant to Ginny getting together with him.

"Bill?"

"He's never met me, so it's normal for him to be suspicious of me." Harry didn't care.

Young male wizards of their age were already somewhat curious about that kind of thing.

Like his roommate, Michael once got his hands on a book featuring glamorous women.

They all had dark circles under their eyes during that period.

Even Ron and Harry knew that he had secretly watched it together.

After all, the images in the Wizarding World can move.

If that book hadn't accidentally disappeared in the Ravenclaw common room...

Harry figured those dark circles under his eyes would probably never go away for the rest of his dorm.

Perhaps even Neville, who truly knows nothing, will eventually develop dark circles under his eyes.

Harry himself probably wouldn't be able to resist.

Because the day before the book disappeared, Ron, for the first time ever, started reading it, wanting to figure out how to add sound to it.

Michael and his classmates, as well as some older students, joined the group.

If they succeed, not only Harry, but all the male students in Ravenclaw will have dark circles under their eyes.

"Okay, but I think Bill is the same as me."

"Before he became the Curse-Breaker, he doted on Ginny the most." Ron felt that Bill wouldn't let Harry off so easily.

"By the way, it seems you want to defeat the Nether Dragon?" Ron asked again.

After clearing away all his dissatisfaction with Harry, he noticed the question that had just occurred to him.

"I—I think I can tell you." Harry was surprised to find that he could actually tell Ron everything about the Mirror World.

Not bound by any contract!

To be honest, even Harry felt a little uncomfortable.

"Lately, I've been feeling like something is watching me from mirrors and other things that reflect the real world. Last night, I forgot to cover the full-length mirror next to me. Then I entered another world. Another version of myself appeared, and he could summon the Nether Dragon in the mirror of that world, so I was banished back."

"If this isn't resolved, I don't think I'll ever be able to look in a mirror again, or even face a window, a lake, or Ginny's eyes," Harry said to Ron with a mix of worry and sarcasm.

Thank you to the student with a weak crown for his monthly ticket and other students for their recommendation and subscription!
